The state will receive 40-million-dollars in federal funding to help provide broadband internet to eight-thousand Wisconsin businesses and homes.
The Biden Administration made the announcement about the additional money Thursday. The Wisconsin Broadband Infrastructure Projects program will get the money, which is aimed at helping connect rural areas in the state to the internet. It’s estimated that 650-thousand Wisconsin residents don’t have access to broadband internet, with most of those residents being in rural areas.
